Chapter 113: Operation "Excavator" (5)

The journey to Keha Point was not long, but every soldier was on his guard. Tadarin's rapid reaction forces are in this area, and they should still be searching for the remnants of human forces. In the event that they collide, the only way to survive is to run as far as they can, they are completely incapable of dealing with the fast reflex force that has been proven to have the presence of immortals and archons.

However, they hadn't encountered a single Tadarin zealot until they had joined up with the A-row reapers, who had come to meet them. The only thing they were with them on the trip was the scorching sun and strong winds of Schill.

As they approached Kekha, they received intermittent broadcasts from Kekha to the effect that the nearby stragglers were to rendezvous at Kekha. The closer they get to the Keha point, the clearer the broadcast becomes. Lal immediately contacted Row A at Keha Point through the frequency indicated on the radio. Platoon A sent two Reapers, after confirming this, to meet them.

When the two reapers, from row A, appeared in view, everyone felt that the big stone hanging in their hearts had finally fallen into their stomachs.

According to the Reaper's intelligence, the Squads of Platoon A regrouped at the assembly point according to the original plan after landing, and then captured Keha Point. This is the only major road in the area that can be passed by large forces.

However, the classes in Platoon A also lost contact with each other. The first to arrive at and occupy Keha Point were the two infantry squads of Platoon A, which were supposed to be in charge of the attack, and then the command squad of Platoon A and another infantry squad also managed to reach Kekha Point after defeating the Tadarin patrol that had been encountered.

The company headquarters of the Separate Company was the last to arrive, and they and two machine-gun squads arrived at the Kekha point without encountering any enemy. They also found that their long-range communications were not working, so they decided to hold on to Kekha Point for the time being and wait for nearby troops to assemble, while increasing the radio strength as much as possible to ensure that their message could travel as far as possible. But now it doesn't seem to be working well.

There has never been intelligence that Tadarin possesses the ability of signal jamming. But then again, although the Star Spirit is often regarded as an old antique who "fights ancient wars with interstellar technology", no matter how you say it, the other party is an existence that is not known how many centuries above humans in terms of technology, and if they don't use it, it doesn't mean that they must not have it.

Lar and Nelson had more or less guessed this, but when reality was actually in front of them, their hearts were still a little flustered. If they really can't get in touch with the fleet, then they really need to be thrown into the desperate wilderness of Schill.

Since then, they have been reinforcing the fortifications at Keha Point, anxiously waiting for any nearby troops to come to the meeting, and the company headquarters has been urging the technical sergeants to come up with a possible solution as soon as possible, whether it is to expand the signal range or to find an opportunity to contact the command, they always need a way out.

And then...... They were the first troops that Platoon A waited for to come to the rendezvous.

During this time, they were attacked by several Tadarin squads, all of which were repulsed. But each time Tadarin attacked, they became more and more nervous. Tadarin should have spotted them, and now it's up to them to be faster.

After another stretch, the hills where Platoon A was stationed also came into view. They quickened their pace and quickly entered the defensive positions of Platoon A. Ral, and Nelson were in the position to reorganize their squad before being called in by the company for questioning.

The tents of the company headquarters were also very rudimentary, and the command post of the company headquarters was supposed to arrive with the second batch of airdrops. As a result, they have lost contact with the fleet now, and they can only reluctantly continue to use this spare command tent.

Walking into the tent, the atmosphere was eerily quiet. Except for the company commander and deputy company commander, no one else was in the tent. The two heads seemed to be facing each other at the table, discussing something. Seeing that two people walked in under the leadership of two marines, the two companies also straightened up.

"All right, you go down." 、

"Yes." The two Marines gave way to the two squad leaders and turned to leave the tent.

Company Commander Douglas looked at these two people and nodded: "You are the squad leaders of Class 76 and Class 14 of Platoon B?" ”

"Yes, sir."

"Well, I heard those two guys say, but I want to confirm again, you two are left in your B platoon?"

"We can only guess. We were unable to contact the platoon department after we landed and arrived at the meeting point. After that, we waited for nearly sixteen hours at Yumoyan Point, and finally waited for the infantry squad of Platoon C, which was farther away. In order to avoid being discovered by the Tadarin Rapid Reaction Force, we had to choose to evacuate after treating the lightly wounded. ”

Douglas and Deputy Company Commander Kim looked at each other, and Kim shrugged.

"Okay, I got it. It is the right choice for you to recruit the remnants of the C Platoon, and at the moment we do not have the ability to replenish any personnel and equipment, so we can only integrate the existing forces as much as possible. Ral. ”

"Yes."

"I am now promoting you to Platoon Commander of Platoon B, responsible for the command and dispatch of the surviving forces of Platoon B. Nelson. ”

"Yes."

"You are now the deputy platoon commander of Platoon B, and you are responsible for assisting Lal with Platoon B affairs. Do you two understand? ”

"Understood, sir."

"Good. Your current rank doesn't match your position, but if we make it out of this damn planet alive, I'll ask my superiors for a promotion to your rank. I'm going to give you a machine gun squad, and you're now tasked with resupplying here. We'll wait here for another four hours, and after four hours if no other troops have arrived, we'll have to leave camp at once. ”

“…… Let's go? Company commander, where are we going? ”

"To stay in this area is to bring about your own destruction, as you have already said that the Tadarin Rapid Reaction Force operates in this area. We must get out of this place as soon as possible before they find us. Douglas returned his attention to the table, "As for where to go...... Platoon Commander Lal, where else do you think we can go now? ”

Ral looked at the company commander who was lying on the table again, and then at the deputy company commander who had been watching the two of them, and seemed to understand something.

“…… Looks like we're going to have to fight anyway? ”

"yes. That base is our only hope, and we can only hope that the troops in the other landing zones will be able to complete the operational objectives as soon as possible. So we will be saved......"

As for the others of the Independence Company who were still scattered in the area, the four of them tacitly did not mention it. They were lucky enough to meet and act together. But those people weren't so lucky......

(I forgot to mention it before, the Reaper wears power armor, which is mentioned in the information on Blizzard's official website, and it is also explained on Baidu Encyclopedia.) As for whether the defense is good or not...... It is not said in the information, it may be similar to the average spearman, or it may be a little better or thinner. Anyway, the defense of the spearman can basically be bitten through by jumping insects, and it doesn't make a difference if it's weaker and stronger...... )
